CRAIG YOUNG TOOK four wickets for 28 runs but it wasn’t enough as the United Arab Emirates continued their fine run of results against Ireland.

Put in to bat after Ireland won the toss, Rohan Mustafa and Vriitya Aravind laid the platform for UAE victory with a 94-run partnership.
Chasing 179 to win, Ireland lost Paul Stirling who was run out on just the fourth ball of the innings, but recovered to 67-2 by the end of the powerplay.
But a disappointing return from the middle order saw Ireland fall short, with attention now turning to tomorrow’s meeting with Nepal.
